Tableau connector "HTTP read" timeout is now configurable
In the Tableau connector, you can now set the HTTP read time out value. This value must be an integer (1,2,3,…) greater than 0, and the default is 180. The maximum value is 2,147,483,647, or approximately 68 years.
Spreadsheets
AI Companion Update: Smarter Table Insert
When inserting AI-generated tables directly into your spreadsheets, you now have total control over how your formulas behave. AI Companion automatically detects formulas and gives you placement options to prevent broken data.
How It Works
Standard Tables: If your table has no formulas, you'll see the standard, single-click Insert button to keep things clean.
Tables with Formulas: The Insert button automatically turns into a split-dropdown with two choices:
- Shift formula references: (Default) Automatically adjusts cell references relative to where the table is pasted so your formulas stay active and accurate.
- Do not shift formula references: Locks the original cell references exactly as written, regardless of where the table lands.
XBRL
Text Wrapping Option In XBRL Fact Details Panel
You can now wrap all text appearing in the XBRL fact details panel. This is helpful to ensure that long concept names can be viewed without getting cut off.
You enable this option by selecting the triangle in the Fact Details panel menu bar and then marking (checking) the "Enable Text Wrap" button. Once enabled, the setting will persist for each user.
